Artist and Studio News

Studio Bio - Digital Kitchen

"Fusion has recently become a critical part of our compositing pipeline here at dk. Its complete support of the Openexr format and its straight forward interface make it the perfect go-to tool for our artists. Its deep enough for our seasoned compers and easy enough to learn for new artists as well. But I'd have to say the biggest factor for us deciding on Fusion over other node based compositing programs was speed. It's incredibly fast."

~ Chad Ashley Creative Director/Head of 3D

The award-winning agency is a collective of artists, writers, musicians, animators, filmmakers, strategists, and producers who create integrated connections between brands and consumers in converging media.

2D or not 2D, that is the question. By Alex Hudson, BBC News The 3D market is expected to be 25 times the size it is now within four years but many think there is not enough content to warrant buying the equipment. Could 'upscaling' 2D content to give it an extra dimension be the answer? Read the BBC article and watch the video about using Fusion to convert 2D movies to 3D here.
